Banksy Art

This dude is the sickest artist around. He's an amazing stencil/graffiti artist, but the places he gets his artwork is amazing. I was looking through a book of his, and there were cows, things in Zoos, and some segregation wall in Palestine.

Just look at this page and see how sick some of his stuff is.

The stuff on the wall in Palestine is awesome. Like the vacation style things. If you want an amazing book, and conversation piece buy one of his books. Sit it on your table, and people will be amazed.

Ohhh, and the OUTDOOR art part of that site has all the things I was talking about. Sorry for the triple posts, but I just think people should see it..... and if I don't link people directly they'll be too lazy.

The news paper article at the end of the first one is awesome. People got put in jail for painting over his graffiti. shit's full circle.

yeah bansky can stick to his bullshit legal artwork. id have more respect for him but he never did his thing in the dirt & grime like the rest of us. keep it in your nice white studio.

What the fuck are you talking about? Banksy started out on the streets of Bristol, Brighton and London. I'm from Brighton and know a number of people who have been out painting with him and he still goes on the streets and keeps painting now, even though financially theres no reason for him to. Thats where he started you idiot.

one thing that noone has really stated yet is that he draws all of his stencils by hand, and then cuts them out. No computer/photoshop at all.
I've been in love with this guys stuff for a while. happy to see it on ns.
